a Dastardly Outrage.

A most disgraceful affair occurred at Four
Mile Lake last Sunday night. The circum-
stances as related TO us are substantially as
follows: About midnight, a party of DRINKS
drove from this village to the Peninsular
House and demanded admittance. The pro-
prietor, Mr.. Vim. L. Hill, informed them
that the house was not open for business and
declined to admit them, whereupon they
broke open the doors, both at the south and
east entrances, went in and made brutal
attack on Mr.. Hill, who was SO badly beaten
that he was unable to come to town the next
day, being hardly able to move around.
BY direction of the prosecutor, Justice
Mason went to the house and took Mr.. Hill
complaint and issued warrant against the
offenders, charging them with an assault
with intent TO do great bodily harm, less
than the crime of murder. The parties
against whom the warrant was issued were
George Quackenbush, Claude Long, Stanley
Lett, Dick Bradley and John Hebron of Paw
Paw, John Feek and Enos Convey of Goble-
vile, Charles Cohn and Henry Mahoney of
Decatur, and Bert Merrill of Lawrence.
Quackenbush, Long, Lett and Bradley were
apprehended on Monday evening and lodged
in Jail; Hebron was arrested and placed be-
hind the bars on Tuesday morning. Others
were arrested later. Mahoney was not ar
rested and Feek was discharged, neither of
them having been with the party. Quacken-
bush and Merrill were held in the sum of
$500 each, Long, Bradley and Hebron $500
each, Lett, Convey and Cohn on their own
recognizance, for examination on Friday
next. Bail was given.
Should any or all of the parties who were
in this disgraceful proceeding be convicted
of the ofiense as charged, they will have to
"go over the road and the fact that they
we're drunk will not tend to mitigate the
sentence of the court. Beautiful thing, this
rum traffic, and how dead the town would be
if il were abolished

Don't Experiment..

You cannot afford to waste time in expert
menting when your lungs are in danger.
Consumption always seems at first, only a
cold. Do not permit any dealer to impose
on you with some cheap imitation of DR..
Kings New Discovery for Consumption,
Coughs and Colds, but be sure you get the
genuine Because he can make more profit,
he may tell YOU he has something just as
good or just the same. Don't be deceived,
but insist upon getting DR.. King New Dis
covery. which is guaranteed to give relief in
all Throat, Lung and Chest affections.

Base Ball Craze.

The base ball fever is rampant in
Carson. Since the Zephyrs were
organized four more clubs have
been formed, being respectively
styled the CHANDELIERS, the RAILROAD
Boys, the Box Factory Club and
the Clerks Club. The large list
was increased by another Friday
night. AS its name indicates--the
Variety Nine--the club is COM
posed of strange conglomeration
of characters. The following is a
list of the members and officers:
w. d. Cottrell, President and
Right Field; A. G. Raycraft. Secre-
tary and First Base; Peter Heidin-
ger. Captain and Catcher; George
Dies, Second Base; r. Raycraft,
Third Base John Schmidt. Treas
urer and Short Stop; Will Day, Left
Field; E. w. Mansfield, Center
Field; George Hark, Pitcher; Sub
stitutes, George G. Thaxter, Cap.
Avery, Dwight Edwards, George
Tufly, Abe Cohn and Harry Brad
ley.
The Variety Nine start in to
practice at five o'clock this morn
ing, and expect before noon to be
able to oeat any club in town. The
APPEAL doubts if there is another
town in the world that can boast of
as many base ball clubs as Carson
can.

En Favor Of annexation.

Several Nevadans visited Haley,
Idaho, recently. as delegates to the
Grand Lodge OF A. O. u. w. All
were representative men of the va
rious sections OF the State, and, as
matter of course, discussed the
question of annexation with repre-
sentative men of Idaho, whom they
met at the Grand Lodge, as well as
with the citizens of HALEY. They
report that tie sentiment at HALEY
was almost unanimously il favor of
annexation to Nevada. Thinking
people fully understand the situa-
ton, and are aware that it is a
choice between remaining in Ter
ritorial condition indefinitely, or
joining with Nevada, and becoming
a part of a sovereign State, with
all the rights and privileges oil
Statehood, and they vastly prefer
the latter alternative.--Silver State

has the photos as we'll, as the pic
ture which the author-actor gives
us of the warm hearted, whole
souled boon companion brought by
the wrong doing of others to the
clutch of severest poverty and dis
tress, touches the source of tears,
though the CHEEKY manner in
which he bears misfortune and the
grotesque way he has of putting his
moralizing go to the springs OF
laughter. Few men on the stage
could play such part as Edward
Harrigan plays this-with a finish +,
a sympathy, a delicacy that are ad-
mirable.

The reduction in the rates OF post
age during the last two years has
been of great benefit to the public,
Very few people. however. are aware
of the injury this action of the
Government has worked upon
thousands OF postmastersth eirclerks.
and those dependant upon them.
A brief statement of the changes in
the compensations and allowances
to Postmaster White and Mr.. Rod
man, his assistant, since the reduc-
ton, will plainly show to what ex-
tent these tpiling servants of the
Government must suffer for the
good of the many.
The Carson postofiice was a
second class office. Before the
reduction Postmaster White received
50, 400 per year as salary and $500
in addition as an allowances for rent,
lights and fuel (the stationary nsed
being furnished by the Government),
and Mr.. Rodman was paid a salary
of 81 900 a year. After the reduc-
ton the Office was put into the third
class, Mr.. Whites salary was cut
down to$1 200 and Mr.. Rodman's to
$500, the allowance for rent, lights
and fuel and thesupply ofstationary
was cut off, and now our postmaster
has to pay for the rent and all other
nesessaries of the office out of his
own salary. This was done in
August, 1886.
Since then another reduction in
certain Changes of mail matter has
been made but no changes were
made in the salaries of either Mr..
White or Mr.. Rodman until a few
days ago when q notice was re-
ceived that Mr.. Rodman's salary
was cut down to 800 a year, or
$5S per month. just think Of
the injustice of allowing that gen.
tleman only $5S l3 month for the
tedious and difficult work he il re-
quired to perform: 1t is thus ap-
parent that the Carson postoffice re-
ceives 81 800 a year less from the
Government since the reduction in
postal rates, although almost the
same amount of work is done now
as was done before the reduction.
What Mr.. White has to spend out
of his own salary for stationary rent,
lights, fuel, etc. the Appeal is I'M
able to state.
Our postmaster and his assistant
certainly deserve a larger eompen-
sation. This matter requires. the
attention of our representatives in
Congress, who should endeavor to
rectify it, at the next session.
